# Weightman Associates

Weightman Associates is a management training and organisational development consultancy based in North Shields, serving businesses across the North East of England. Led by CEO John Grant, the firm specialises in enhancing management capability and driving organisational change through practical, hands-on training interventions.

The company works with organisations of varying sizes, helping them develop their management teams and navigate cultural transformation. Their client base spans multiple sectors, with a track record of delivering measurable improvements in management effectiveness and employee engagement.

What sets Weightman Associates apart is their emphasis on practical application over theoretical frameworks. Rather than delivering generic training programmes, they tailor their approach to each client's specific challenges. Their service portfolio is notably comprehensive, covering everything from leadership development and appraisal skills to absence control management and employee surveys. This breadth allows them to address interconnected organisational issues holistically.

The firm offers both training delivery and strategic consultancy. Their Management Development programmes include ILM-accredited qualifications for first-line managers, whilst their consultancy services extend to assessment centres, organisational restructuring support, and human resource service provision. They also conduct employee surveys to diagnose cultural issues before designing interventions.

By combining diagnostic insight with tailored skill development, Weightman Associates positions itself as a partner in sustainable organisational improvement rather than a supplier of off-the-shelf courses. Their client testimonials emphasise the practical value and relevance of their interventions.
